Summary: some good, some bad
Comment: There is no doubt of Mezey's expertise in poetry. He has edited the definitive editions of both Thomas Hardy's and E.A. Robinson's work. And the man knows more about poetry than most people. But I found his own work to be uneven. The Collected Poems contains some good poetry, and as a whole it is an enjoyable read. But there were sections of the book that didn't seem up to par with the rest. I especially found the clerihews, couplets, and 'prose and cons' to be weak, and they invaded (a little) some of the other sections. Light verse is a joy to read, and a valuable form of poetry, but it seemed to me that Mezey didn't take them serious enough (no pun intended) to make them come off successful. But the first half of the collection I found to be really good. Mezey's Collected Poems is, overall, a good collection, and one worth reading.

Summary: Collected Poems 1952-1999 by Robert ezey
Comment: Robert Mezey has been a consistent lyric voice in American poetry. His Collected poems bear this out. The lovely "Evening Wind, " the "Slow Sonnet," and many others in the volume demonstrate the consummate feeling that infuse his poems. Mezey combines intense and careful perceptions with a great sense of pace and form. His poems unfold before one. A lovely book!

Summary: Collected Poems:1952-1999 by Robert Mezey
Comment: Robert Mezey has been a consistent voice in contemporary American lyric poetry. His "Collected Poems" bear this out; he develops seamlessly, apparently effortlessly. His lovely "Evening Wind" (also reprinted on the book jacket), and "Slow Sonnet" show the master poet. The poems unfold before us. Mezey has a consummate sense of imagery, timing, meaning; contained by the pace and form of a poem. A lovely book!
